We came to Vancouver in '69 Jim arrived first and 4mths later he sent for me,we were engaged and getting married in Vancouver. Jim is there at the airport waiting anxiously for his bride to be to arrive, well out the door I come, eyes swollen from crying for nine hours on a plane,
I see Jim my fiance whom I haven't seen for 4mths and I rush into his arms and I say I hate this place I want to go home, so far i've only seen the airport!! I think he was expecting me to say I love you, I missed you, i'm so glad to be here in your arms but noooo
. He whispered in my ear "Breda just stay for 2 weeks and i'll send you home okay" so I agreed to that. He lied to me, it was 2yrs before he sent me home with our son who was 11mths old at the time, I was home for 5 weeks and after one week I missed him so much I couldn't wait to get back to Vancouver
Anyway 44yrs later we have 2 great kids who are our treasures, a daughter inlaw who we love to bits, a son inlaw that you couldn't ask for better and 6 beautiful gr'kids that melt our hearts, it doesn't get any better than this.
Having said all that I still love going home to Belfast
oh and btw I love this forum
